Silence. Pure silence.
Few people realize how devastating can be.
Silence has always been a part of my life
Just not in the way that you can see.

When I had no one to do anything with
Silence was there, whispering despite the quiet.
But little did I know, it was suffocating me
How could a friend be this violent?

Silence. Pure silence.

The nagging voices in my head,
I tried to tell them to stop, to get out
But they wouldn't...I was stuck
With a silent scream, a quiet shout.

Silence. Pure silence.

I trekked on though, and I was
Taken out of my shock.
And saw all of the people that cared
And I finally began to talk.

I told them what I felt,
How it affected me.
And finally, I felt
Like I had been set free.

Silence can still be quite violent,
I can't seem to say good riddance.
And still I cannot understand the
Silence. Pure silence.

I have to present this garbage on Monday. Yay...
